“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Ouch! A face that could launch a thousand ships, and looks like it did!
There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period.

The type of person to Cerokote a wartime German Luger zombie green and pay extra to find hot pink grip panels to install on it.
The type of person that would attach a laser sight to a black powder revolver.
Shove a rare SKS in a bull pup stock with a flaky hicap mag and chopped barrel saying it's tacticool. Throwing away everything he removed.
Sand and refinish a rare matching Swede Carbine, then drill and tap it

If they post, it could start out with a photo like this
What scares me Greasemonkey is why you staged that picture in the first place. Do you have a super secret past that we are not aware of? Are you in a Bubba witness protection program?

I was at a gunshow once and found these two gents selling a large collection of "sporting" rifles made from just about anything you could think of. I snapped the picture as I told them they were a**holes for destroying the rifles. Strangely enough their names were Bubba and his brother Bubba.

I always knew bubba was inbred but DAMN! Those two must be 3rd or 4th generation inbreds.

On the other hand I believe there is a certain strain of Bubba that is uncommon. This is the ignorant Bubba that has been enlightened by the educated. Most Bubbas don't care about historical significance. The rare one, once learning of the history and beauty of the weapons he knows nothing of, embraces the responsibility of preserving these dollops of milsurp heaven. He instantly regrets and constantly grieves over firearms that fell victim to his and his idiot friends bright ideas. He constantly dreams of military rifles and handguns he let get away in the past because they weren't "cool".
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this is Reformed Bubba. He changes his name to Conrad and has a penchant for British television and PBS fundraising.
Reformed Bubba is as rare as a Republican in a rainbow afro wig driving a Fiat. But they are out there. They do exist. You just have to believe.

He is the shit for brains idiot who ruined the No1 MKIII* Enfield it took me 25 years to put back to rights. He is the floor flushing scumbag who ruined the 1899 Tula M1891 I have in the parts bin. His parents were related to one another. I could go on, but I think the point is made.
Aw come on Jim, tell us what you really think. Quit sugar coating it
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Now, you will on occasion come across a "Bubba'd" rifle that, while destroyed from a "historical" basis is a desirable piece. A good bud of mine has a bring back Mauser (his Dad brought it back) and it was modified by a professional Gunsmith. He used it to feed quite a few people in a rather poor part of Maryland as this man felt it was his responsibility to feed his widowed mom, siblings and other family. This 98K has NO historical value but it is priceless to "Mac"
